For what it's worth, I don't particularly like the cam up high as it gets in the way of viewing traffic lights, and can block the view of pedestrians. I use an adhesive base on top of the dashboard. Just don't leave the camera attached or even in the car, in the heat when not running the AC!

Suction cup mounts, done nice and low get the same effect. Just make sure you get a good field of view so you aren't just shooting your hood.
